My lews have been up to Canada laker and northern fishing and have caught numbers of lakers some up to 40″ northern up to 43″ (still looking for that 45″). Drag still working great and if I go this summer will have no difficulty taking them along.

Best models to stock?

Tournament pro or BB1's are the best for the money, really like the magnesiums but they are more. Want to try the new HperMag next

Tournament Pros - BB1 Pro (great with braid), Team Lews Lite and Team Lews Pro Z and Super Dutys have all been awesome for me - great reels in a wide range of prices...

I have broke every Lews I have owned except a supper Duty

I've been using Lew's since the first BB1s, built by Shimano, hit this market in about 1976. My all-time favorite is the BB1NH.

I've used lots of other reels but Lew's are still my favorites.
Smooth, comfortable to the hand, well built to last and easy to cast with accuracy.

Think I'll stick with them.

The Tournament MB�s are fairly cheap, should sell decently and then there are some pretty expensive models. I won�t spend more than $200 anymore on a reel though. Maybe you can start a poll with the prices range that people are willing to spend.

I'm a Revo or Shimano guy mostly. My son started bought Lews when he began trying to get better quality equipment. I believe he bought 4, of various price levels. They didn't seem to hold up as well as my Revo's have.

ditto on love my Lews

I've used 7 Tournament MB's for three seasons now, fishing just about every weekend, and they have performed flawlessly so far. In my opinion, the MB performs on par with the RevoSX (but not necessarily better) in every category but drag strength at a slightly lower price.

I have a hard time throwing light lures with the standard BB1, but they chunk heavy lures extremely well. The BB1's are also three seasons old and they look and perform like new (they're also smoother than the MB's).

The two Tournament Pro spinning reels I have (I think they were discontinued right after I got them) are ok. I don't use spinning reels often so I don't have as much confidence in evaluating performance/value in them. But, for what it's worth, they're smooth out of the package and they're working like new after three years of light use. In short, meh.

My reels usually get cleaned and oiled twice a year.

Very happy overall with the three models of Lew's I've used.

Stock them, they will sale!

I have 14, and couldn't be more pleased.

I'm up to 5 Lew's now.... I will be transitioning to them as needed until all my outfits are updated.... performance, weight, cost....hard to beat

I have 4 BB1 (three yr's old). Several KVD and the Lew's are smoother and cast longer. Really like them but... Looking at reels at Cabelas last week and the newer Lew's are lot's smaller ? And feel great in my hand. So yes I think they will sell !!!

The BB1 Pro Series was revised again just recently adding Eva foam grips and a few other tweaks but for the most part it�s a BB1, a workhorse. I use all BB1 Pro�s and Team Lew�s reels and have been very pleased by them. I looked into Shimano and the reel itself is a bigger profile versus the flat, compact bb1 Pro. My preference would be to carry an $80, $150, and $250+ reel in the Lew�s line because guys know the brand!

My dad was a Shimano guy for years. Now he's fishing the Lews. I've used them as well...smooth, cast good, and seem to hold up really well to heavy use.
